Earlier this season, Liverpool were linked with a move for Real Madrid star Francisco Román Alarcón Suárez (aka Isco), and according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, Madrid are desperate to offload the 'unique' attacker.

For the right price, Isco is a good option, but £60m+? You're having a laugh. Isco is a talented player, but his goal return is average (one every 432 mins); the Spaniard's combined goals/assist ratio is good (one every 163 mins), but it's not £60m-good.

That said, the high press is a key part of Jurgen Klopp's philosophy, and Isco fits that approach. Indeed, in a recent interview, the Spaniard explained how he'd adapted his game to fit that type of football:

“I took an important step when it came to regaining possession. I've had to do that to have a place in the [Madrid] team. I try to help by running and working. I became a more complete player. But I don’t want to talk so much about myself.”

One thing's for sure - Reds fans would love to see Isco at Anfield. Last season, I conducted a site poll asking fans if Liverpool should sign Isco, and a whopping 78% of voters selected were in favour of the deal.
